Dear coding friends,

as every year X-mas is coming in no time and we are heading to our last meetup in 2017. This year we team up with Symfony User Group and PHP Berlin Usergroup to do a community open event and want to invite you to bring your own ideas, projects or lightning talks to present.

The meetup will take place at Turbine Kreuzberg's (formerly Votum's) office in X-Berg. We're collecting RSVPs, comments and stuff over at the "master" event of Symfony User Group so make sure you leave your marks there: https://www.meetup.com/sfugberlin/events/245503058/.

Besides your presentations in the meeting room there will be a social area in the kitchen with cookies, drinks and - of course - mulled wine. We're also planning a creative coding session where you can team up to create some digital handicraft that you can send to your beloved ones.

If you want to present something you are welcome to announce it in the comment section below or spontaneously at the meetup event. No presentation should take longer than around 5 - 15 minutes (that's why it's called a "lightning talk") and it doesn't have to be technical. Even though there's going to be quite an overhead of PHP devs around, every other language, framework or religion is highly welcome! And note: if you never presented before, this is a *great* chance to give you first talk ever.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

What to bring

If you want to participate in the handicrafting sessions bring your notebook with preinstalled basic developer tools (IDE / editor, Browsers, Terminal, Git).
